The more I use these grips, the more I like them. They cushion recoil pretty well on an Airweight, and are very comfortable and controllable. I'm going to spend some more time with them at the range alongside my Airweights with Altamont grips http://www.altamontco.com/experiment...s/SJR-FO07.jpg and evaluate them. But, so far, these are a winner once you get past the unorthodox shape.
